3 Sheets Pizzeria is a waterfront eatery with plenty of outdoor seating. Unfortunately, seagulls enjoying dining al fresco just as much as the pizzeria’s customers. Some of the scavenging birds have been known to steal food right off the tables. Toby Evans, the restaurant’s owner, tried everything to get rid of the gulls, from electronic booms to fake owls, but nothing worked. Until now.

Evans says he wanted to do something that wouldn’t actually harm the seagulls, so he went to Toys R Us and bought Super Soakers for each of his outdoor tables. The squirting is not only helping to thwart seagulls but it might also be good for business. The customers love the water guns, especially the kids.
